Chapter 148: For the Sake of the Dream!

Of course, telling male fans to eat excrement was just a joke.

Besides, even if a male fan really dared to eat it, Jiang Yun wouldn’t dare to broadcast it live!

No matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn’t go that far.

TikTok wouldn’t allow such content on a livestream either.

“Brother Yunzi, this challenge is so tough. Can you add some money?” the male fan asked with a troubled expression.

Was he... actually considering it?

Jiang Yun: !!!!!

Damn, brother, are you really going to eat it?

After a moment of shock, Jiang Yun looked at the male fan curiously and asked, “Brother, what exactly is going on with you that you need this 10,000 yuan so badly?”

To Jiang Yun, if someone was willing to eat excrement just to get 10,000 yuan — and in front of so many people in the livestream no less — maybe this guy was really in some kind of trouble.

After all, this isn’t something an ordinary person could accept.

Hearing Jiang Yun’s words, the male fan smiled slightly. “It’s not something too difficult. I’ve had a dream for a long time, but I’m almost thirty and never had the chance to fulfill it. So I thought I’d freeload a bit of startup money from you, then gather the rest myself to make it happen.”

“Oh? A dream?” Jiang Yun raised his eyebrows.

If the male fan told some pitiful story, maybe he’d consider helping.

But a dream... he definitely would help!

Who didn’t have dreams when they were young?

Besides, a dream worth eating excrement for must be very important to him!

Maybe it was something especially meaningful!

“Brother, tell me about your dream. Maybe I can help you achieve it,” Jiang Yun said seriously.

Hearing this, the male fan glanced instinctively at the camera, then said, “It’s like this, Brother Yunzi: I have several teachers I deeply respect. I want to collaborate with them, complete some of their work, and experience the atmosphere of their workplace up close.”

Still academic stuff!

Jiang Yun’s gaze softened with some respect.

He hadn’t read many books, so he especially respected those who loved learning.

Especially a fan like this, willing to eat excrement for the sake of study — he respected him even more!

“Brother, where do those teachers work?”

“In Neon.”

Jiang Yun: ????

Upon hearing the place, Jiang Yun was momentarily stunned.

Is that even a proper workplace?

He instinctively glanced at the livestream comments.

“Although I don’t want to admit it, Neon’s academic level is indeed very high.”

“Neon has produced 19 Nobel laureates in 19 years. Their academics are really something.”

“Not just empty praise; we really need to acknowledge their abilities. Their academics are quite impressive.”

“For such a tiny place, Neon has five universities ranked among the world’s top 100 — that says a lot.”

“.........”

Seeing these comments, Jiang Yun realized he had been one-sided.

Although Neon’s industries were more famous, and he held his own biases against that place, he couldn’t deny their academic capabilities.

If the guy was purely pursuing academics, going there was understandable.

But Jiang Yun had one more question.

“Going to Neon, won’t 10,000 yuan be almost useless? The round-trip airfare and accommodation will cost about that much, right?”

“That’s enough, I have nearly 100,000 yuan saved up myself, it should be fine.”

Seeing Jiang Yun’s willingness to help, the young man’s face showed a trace of excitement.

Jiang Yun said, “Alright, although you’re freeloading, helping others realize their dreams is meaningful. Plus, since you came specifically to find me, I’ll sponsor you 20,000 yuan. Here, payment code.”

As he said that, Jiang Yun took out his phone.

While paying, he casually asked, “What are the names of those teachers?”

The young man didn’t think much and replied instinctively, “Aikawa Nao, Imada Mio...”

Jiang Yun: ??????

Jiang Yun looked at him in confusion. “They... have academic side jobs?”

“Academic? What academic?”

The young man looked equally confused, as if he didn’t understand what Jiang Yun was talking about.

Jiang Yun was even more baffled. “Aren’t you going to Neon for academics?”

“Academics? No, I just want to collaborate with those teachers there.”

Huh???

Not only Jiang Yun, but the livestream viewers were stunned.

“????”

“Wait, why do these teachers’ names sound so familiar?”

“I think I’ve seen these names somewhere.”

“Damn, aren’t these the top thirty in Neon’s ranking?”

“Amazing, the teachers you’re talking about are these teachers, right?”

“Alright, alright, we thought you were going for academics, but turns out you’re going for the women, huh?”

“.............”

Jiang Yun knew nothing about academics or Neon.

But he knew about actresses who couldn’t be named.

He was very familiar with those names.

So when he heard the young man say those names, he was completely dumbfounded.

After a long silence, Jiang Yun slowly regained his composure.

“So, you just want to go to Neon to collaborate with those teachers, right?”

“Yeah, I just want to ‘grab’ a bit.”

Hearing the phrase “grab a bit,” Jiang Yun completely lost it.

He put away his phone and pointed into the distance. “Get lost. Now, get lost!”

Young man: ????

“Brother Yunzi, you just said otherwise.”

The young man’s tone was a bit aggrieved, clearly not understanding why.

Jiang Yun: ...........

Who the hell knew the teachers you mentioned were those teachers?

Actually, Jiang Yun had considered this possibility at first, but the comments in the livestream were all about Neon’s impressive academic achievements, which made him misunderstand.

Besides... who the hell would eat excrement just to ‘grab’ some Neon actresses?

Is that something normal people would do?

Jiang Yun pointed blankly into the distance without expression. “Do you know who’s the toughest in Chengdu?”

The livestream viewers couldn’t help but laugh at Jiang Yun’s words.

“Someone’s upset. I won’t say who.”

“Brother Yunzi is really pissed this time.”

“To be fair, this guy’s ruthless. Willing to eat excrement just to ‘grab’ a few.”

“Hey, didn’t someone say there wouldn’t be any absurd stuff today? What’s going on?”

“No absurdity? Speak up!”

“.........”

At this moment, the young man finally came to his senses, looking at Jiang Yun in disbelief. “Brother Yunzi, you don’t really think I’m going to Neon for academics, do you? What the heck? Don’t you know what Neon is famous for?”

Jiang Yun: .........
